You can. Many of steam games you can just archive or copy over somewhere else and they’ll still work just fine.

And you can get a crack for most DRM out there (nowadays, even Denuvo).
That’s make it any less a DRM.

No, cracking the game vs just copying the downloaded file is not equivalent. How did you not see that? With copying the file it means the original file is already DRM free and does not require steam. So steam is just a glorified downloader and launcher in that sense

There are literally games on Steam without any DRM at all, equal to GOG’s implementation. It’s all up to the individual publisher.

I have a laptop that stayed offline for a year. Steam worked just fine in offline mode the whole time. What did you think was going to happen?
